All these questions should be thrown out the window. You know the old saying "Suspend your disbelief"? That's how Scientology works.  ;)

No, no, you pay a lot of money, then suspend your disbelief, that's how Scientology works.

Yeah. Vitamins and exercise are expensive.

Not that I am complaining (as I thought the rifftrax was quite good), but it seems many of the riffs were either lifted directly from http://www.jabootu.com/be.htm or got their inspiration from there.

Which reminds me:

With the musical score blaring away too loudly, as it is prone to do in this film

Sometimes the riffs are hard to hear, as I have to constantly either change the volume on the DVD player (as either the music is too loud or the dialogue too "soft"), or on the riff-trax to drown out the music.

Well, I'll be sure to inform my 7th grade English teacher. ::)

Jaboo... who?

I have no intention of reading that page, and I'm positive Mike and the guys never even saw that site before. They probably want to read it even less than I do.

This audio aspect is the nature of loud action movies. Unfortunately we can only make the commentary tracks so loud without distortion. How you combine them is up to you.

Understood. I knew that but thought it "weird" that a site from 5 years ago had the same "riffs"...quite a coincidence I am sure.

Again, understood. I am not complaining about the riff-trax, but about the DVD soundtrack.

All good then. As you were!
